诚信是商业中最重要货币。一旦失去它，你就失去了一切。

The novel is the great art form of the human condition.

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
